Go To were you are going and come back first .
You are an inspiration! I feel like we have similar minds. I tried circuit simulators, but I work with tubes most the time, and you can't accurately simulate tubes.
you are my grand mother in my dreams..
To attempt to quote Hunter S. Thompson, "The thing about the edge is that the only ones who know where it is have gone over it."
Hi Fran! Do you know a good place to find UM66 melody generators? I can only find um66t19l, which plays Fuer Elise.
be specific: give us an example of an actual limit. we all have lists of things that are difficult, or have been difficult … these aren't limits.
Argue for your limitations and you prove them … Just go for it and you can be limitless
That question on limits is interesting… I know I have limits but I really don't think there isn't much I can't do. I agree with you that some of the most exciting time is building/fixing/doing something I've never done before and figuring it out and having that new knowledge.
Don't be afraid of your hitting your limit, odds are its a lot further out than you'd think.
You are so lucky and brave, the world needs more people like you, sadly, I'm not among those.
I've known my limits for years. The biggest one: I was born in Mexico. The rest are pretty much a consequence of it, most of it, anyway.
I guess you can say your limits are those you think you have, but sometimes, you get to a point in your life when those limits are more than just a thought; I'm 42, picked the wrong carrer and didn't finish college, have no useful skills, have no good working experience, no job and no money. If I can get a job as a janitor this year, I'd be very lucky.
At this point, even if I could convince myself that I have no limits, I'd hit against them so hard I wish I'd be dead from the pain, I've seen it with my father since he became unemployed 20 years ago. I'm so glad I don't have kids, it's already awful to be a disappointment to my family but it would be really, really unbearable to be that for my children too.
Analog simulation software is like getting your parents to do your school homework
I think your limits are always further than you think.
But I find that trying to learn new skills now require a much deeper and broader foundation than previous.
Fran, do you play the game Go (sometimes called baduk)? Its like a bunch of miniature puzzles during the game. I think you'd like it and be good at it.
With regard to limits, I must agree. I'm 66 and have friends in their 80's. All of them have said about the same thing – "be curious." And, we all are! That's what keeps us going – learning new things, trying to understand how and why something works the way it does. Just the other day, I read an article on hydrology and a Ghyben-Herzberg lens that permits the collection of fresh water on a coral or limestone atoll. Realistically, I have zero use for this tidbit of information, but it was fascinating. I think that is why, to us, age is just a number. Sadly, we have seen others who reached a plateau decades ago, and have no interest in anything. What an existence! Shoot me.
This is why I find your videos so interesting. I've learned so much about details of all sorts of stuff that I never before considered. So, a big thanks for helping me keep the gray matter working!

Great technique you have there, Fran: Approach the problem from both ends: What you have and know, and what you want, then work as many approaches as you can until one or more meet in the middle.
